POTENTIAL APPLICATION DISCUSSION

Thinking about applying for a character, but not quite sure if they're a good fit? This post is dedicated to discussion of that very thing! A jury of your peers will help you in deciding whether or not a character you suddenly have a hankering for would be a fit for the Barge!

THIS IS NOT COMPULSORY. Nobody HAS to participate, and nobody HAS to post here before they post an application! This is just for people who are unsure and would like to have a discussion before they apply.

However, there are some rules.

1. Mods are the final decision makers. So, a lot of people love your character? Got great feedback? But then-- whaaaat?-- you post your app and it's REJECTED? GASP! Sorry, approval here does NOT substitute mod approval. Do NOT use this thread as basis for whining at the mods if your character is rejected. If you do, this thread is getting shut down. (PS: This rule applies EVEN IF ONE OF THE MODS GIVES YOU GOOD FEEDBACK IN THIS THREAD)
2. No content-less posts. I don't want to see any "OMG YES!" or any "HELL NO"s. You have to provide reasons. This post is for constructive discussion.
3. No flaming. This kinda goes with the above. If you think the character is fine but the player can't pull it off, BE CONSTRUCTIVE and don't insult the player.
4. BE HONEST. Speaks for itself. You think a character would be a terrible fit? Then don't say "Oh, it'll be wonderful!"
5. No plotting. A lot of times, people get all excited about making up plots for characters who aren't even in the game yet (and who MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED), leaving those who are in the game with nothing to do with... well, nothing to do. It's distracting and the excitement over "what-ifs" diverts too much from the actual game.
6. Don't take this personally. You do not equal your (potential) character. If everybody thinks it's a lousy character who wouldn't fit, it's NOT an attack on you or your RPing.

Put the character's name as the subject line (ONE CHARACTER PER COMMENT), and be sure to fill out the following form. Yes, some of the questions seem stupid, but these are things we'd like you to keep in mind BEFORE you apply for a character.

HAVE FUN.

Character Name: Kahlan Amnell
Series: Legend of the Seeker
Warden or Inmate: Warden
Do they meet all rules and requirements?: Yes
Do you think they will be active and interact with others?: Yes
Would this character be active in ports and floods, or sit out?: Yes
Why do you want them?: I've been watching Legend of the Seeker lately and I think Kahlan would be an interesting character to play. I also want to take on a couple new characters besides Jayne Cobb and I think she would be a dynamic addition to the boat. She's be a good Warden, keeping her mind on the mission: reforming her Inmate. Plus she can kick some serious ass if needed. And I think it would be cool to have a Confessor on the barge. :P
Potential Concerns: I haven't read the Sword of Truth novels and I don't intend to do so any time soon. So, all my knowledge of Kahlan will come strictly from the show and whatever I read of her on Wikipedia. I guess I'm worried people might take issue over tv!Kahlan vs book!Kahlan.
